Background Ponies Appreciation Club

[DEAD_ACCNT 46]

Thanks. Sadly, it doesn't seem to be particularly popular. Bronies don't care about BG ponies as much as they used to a few years ago.

 

Do you have a favorite background pony?

Her name is Distant Star.

[IronM17 5,373]

You know, sometimes I think that good designs of the new BG ponies is actually what makes bronies care less about them.

 

Maybe, but that would be a strange paradoxon. Ponies with interesting and unique designs, which should make the character more interesting, makes them less interesting for bronies. 

 

Anyway, I made a new vector. Zhis time, I made a vector of Sunshine Smiles while she makes a cartwheel.

Here a selfmade vector of Petunia Paleo and Lily Longsocks (my both favorite non-CMC foals) while there standing on the starting line of the seven-legged race. The base was a screenshot of Applebloom and Babs Seed from the episode "Apple Family Reunion".

I love how the BG ponies got more unique designs after S4.

I love how the BG ponies got more unique designs after S4.

 

It already started in S4 with new designs for ponies from Manehattan. I guess then they start to bring different ponies for different towns. I say that this gives the show more realismus. 

 

Anyway, I made another vector with Petunia and Lily. This time, they hugging each other.

Sifting through piles of screencaps and gifs of MLP. The smoothness of animation never ceases to amaze me.

Citrus Blush:

Citrus always wants to shown her fabulousness.

 

Speaking of Citrus. Another new vector from me. This time, I made a vector with Sweet Biscuit, Citrus Blush and Cayenne while they nuzzle a little bit. This three ponies are so cute together. ^^

I wanted to make a few of my EQG vectors in Crystal Prep uniforms. But because of time, I only have finished Cayenne and Citrus Blush. And I am not sure if I made another in the next time because the uniforms are really hard to make. Anyway, here are Cayenne and Citrus Blush in the Crystal Prep Uniforms. Cayennes Uniform is inspired by the uniform which Fleur de Lis wears, and Citrus is inspired by the uniform which Sour Sweet wears.

Found Daisy's possible sister. It seems she is still unnamed:



So many ponies need more love but go unnoticed...

[IronM17 5,373]

The problem with a lot of Ponies ist, that they have so small background appearences, that the most people don't notice them. 

 

Here a selfmade vector of Moonlight Raven and Sunshine Smiles while Sunshine gives Moonlight a nose boop.

Pity I missed the times when a BG pony could become popular after a few seconds of screen time, like Octavia or Derpy. Back then people really noticed everything. Now there are simply too many cool background ponies.

Cloudchaser is not amused.

OK, we have a lot of background changelings now...



And it seems, Ruby Pinch hasn't grown much since school

Here's the cute dancing pony from the episode 'Saddle Row Review'. Pacific Glow I think is her name?

[IronM17 5,373]

hi there. I have here ideas from me for names of a few Backgroundponies from different episodes.

Picture bigger

Pony 1: She has a Tornado with hearts as Cutie Mark and another name for a Tornado is Twister. So I came to the idea with Twisted Heart or Twisted Love. She is from "Viva Las Pegasus".

Pony 2: She is usually seen in the Ponyville Spa. Her usual CM is a Palm Tree. Palms reminds me on the sea, beaches and the carribean. So, I came to the idea with Carribean Dream. Another Idea is "Ocean Dream".

Pony 3: Yeah, she has a Ferris Wheel as her Cutie Mark. So, I came to both ideas (really simple, I know, but I find both names fits). She is from "Viva Las Pegasus".

Pony 4: All Nurse Ponys begins with Nurse in their names. Heartstick cames from her Cutie Mark. She is from "Where the Apple Lies".

Pony 5: I wanted that not all Ponies are named after their Cutie Marks, so I came to the idea with Lavender Sky. She has a violet mane (like Lavender) and is a pegasus (therefore Sky).

Pony 6: A Jackhammer is a typical building machine and I found that this name is good for a road worker.

So, are you ok with the names or do you have other ideas?

[Oleks 1,993]

Hi, IronM17!

Pretty cool ideas you've got here, especially from my perspective, as I'm terrible at names.

This is a really pretty pony. How could I not notice her? As for the name, your suggestions are good, however the word "twisted" has different meanings, some of them not so positive. So, Twirling Love, maybe?

"Carribean" is a reference to a real place, so Ocean Dream is more suitable, in my opinion. Tropical Dream would be nice, but this name is already taken.

Ferris is the name of the ferris wheel inventor - again, a real world reference, so I'm for the second option.

Nurse Heartstick it is.

Lanveder Sky is a very nice name. I'm totally for it.

Jack Hammer is already taken, it seems. Also, this is the name of one of my favorite anime characters . On derpibooru this pony is called Constructicorn - sounds like a transformer name to me.

One of my favorite Season 6 bg ponies. I especially like the rave drugs reference - the pacifier.
